“…Various techniques such as educational data mining have been used to predict failures in advance [18][19][20], also concerned with initial motivation [21] or promoting increased motivation [22]. Several experience reports have been made to improve the teaching-learning process and the respective success in introducing programming [23,24]. Many of them are related to pedagogical strategies with encouraging results, such as pair programming [25][26][27], flipped classrooms [28][29][30], peer instruction [31,32], cooperative learning [33] and collaborative learning [34].…”

Introductory programming courses in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) degrees are critical to student success throughout the students’ academic and professional route but have traditional failure and dropout rates. The number of publications and reviews on the subject is growing, so we realize the need to prepare an umbrella review, or review of reviews, to group previous studies and extract more comprehensive and ambitious results. Based on the databases ACM, Google Scholar, IEEE, SCOPUS and Web of Science libraries, a formal search was created that resulted in 21 reviews on programming fundamentals in higher education context. Results include bibliometric information on the CS1 reviews, in the context of higher education (namely annual evolution, number and information on authors, types and sources of information, countries of affiliation, languages, keywords and most cited articles), the purpose of the reviews and research questions, methods (namely search strategy, databases used, eligibility criteria) and results (number of records and tables or divisions were made to catalog the articles). We present a taxonomy with four different types of purpose: general, specific, student group and teacher directed. We found very interesting catalogs that can serve as a tool for future work, whether by researchers in the field or by authors who intend to carry out reviews related to introduction to programming, especially in the context of higher education.

“…The study discovered that a) visual-based tools are more suitable for learning, b) a simplified syntax is better for understanding, and c) a beginner-friendly user guide is vital for effective learning. Several strategies are related to teaching how to program (Sobral, 2021). We can sort the strategies into the following categories: flipped classroom -students get contact with new subjects before the class; pair programming -two students work together on a code or problem; active learning -the instructor coaches the student who is in the center of the learning process, showing that the subjects are essential to students' success, continuation, or dropout in undergraduate courses.…”

Learning programming logic remains an obstacle for students from different academic fields. Considered one of the essential disciplines in the field of Science and Technology, it is vital to investigate the new tools or techniques used in the teaching and learning of Programming Language. This work presents a systematic literature review (SLR) on approaches using Mobile Learning methodology and the process of learning programming in introductory courses, including mobile applications and their evaluation and validation. We consulted three digital libraries, considering articles published from 2011 to 2022 related to Mobile Learning and Programming Learning. As a result, we found twelve mobile tools for learning or teaching programming logic. Most are free and used in universities. In addition, these tools positively affect the learning process, engagement, motivation, and retention, providing a better understanding, and improving content transmission.

“…Adquirir e desenvolver aptidão na codificação de um software envolve variadas atividades cognitivas e representações mentais [1]. Este campo é alvo de diversas pesquisas [2], que se focam em diferentes conceitos, práticas e perspectivas [3,4,5]. Apesar do aumento da discussão e dos avanços acerca de métodos e ferramentas usadas no processo de ensino e aprendizado da programação, a literatura relata [6,7] uma predominância da combinação do ensino tradicional com práticas de codificação individuais em laboratório, nomeadamente na unidade curricular (UC) de programação introdutória, que se detêm em explorar conceitos e habilidades técnicas [8].…”

Resumo -Aprender a programar envolve uma variedade de atividades cognitivas e representações mentais. Face à complexidade do problema e à intenção de apreender as particularidades e singularidades da experiência do estudante na aprendizagem da programação em contexto formal e não formal, esta pesquisa adota uma abordagem qualitativa, a fim de caracterizar a complexa inter-relação da participação computacional no processo de aprendizagem da programação, sem a isolar do contexto natural em que se desenvolve, procurando atingir sua compreensão a partir da observação de múltiplos casos. Palavras Chave -programação introdutória; programadores iniciantes;aprendizado da programação; participação computacional; estudo de caso.
